And You Thought You Knew Pain! - Black Anvil

Reverse direction, in all humility, I’ve become extinct

And only now, with grave allegiance

Do I suffer, indifferent, insistent, and prolific?

Thrown forward in time

It’s taken years to compile enough memories to die!

And you thought you knew pain!

Commence distinction

In all things lie a will to fade

Thrust backward in time, forsaken

Any hope worth saving has passed me by

And you thought you knew pain!

What’s put to rest

Infest, Insane

I will rot, but it’s not

Like I wasn’t already achieving decay

Let’s end today

Forever enrage

I am molting, no longer set apart

Flesh and wood, the dirt feels good

Against my heart
